OK, I see that but Word is my email editor so the Add-in button there would
not have access to the Outlook Application object (right?). Can I add a
button to the toolbar area of Word that Outlook occupies--the area with the
addresses, subject, and attachment controls?

I've seen examples of Add-in code which can create a new mail message and
add an attachment to it.

Is there a way to add an attachment to an email the user is currently
composing?

From the email editor (i.e. Word running from Outlook), I want to provide
a button which shows a dialog. When the user picks an item from the
dialog I want to create a local file and add that file as an attachment
to the email message the user is currently editing.

I'm familiar with writing Add-ins for Word and Outlook. I've been through
the forums and MSDN but cannot figure out how to do this.
